I heartily agree that all Mods, and Peter for that matter, should always be free to post their own opinions here. Just because someone is a Mod...
Nice man, for that price you can buy 1000 of these. :) Good eye.
Oh, I didn't realize he bought that coin from Antiqua, I thought he bought it in Germany direct. Isn't that the coin they believe was reengraved...
Btw Ruben, double names similar to NY, NY are actually pretty common in Asia. The city is older than the prefecture or district, so the district...
That's the weird thing, isn't it Doug? I bet you most here assume we hate toned coins. I know you have spoken about them before, and I collected...
Btw OP, just this morning I made almost $2k on stocks. Does this mean I should sell all of my PM and dump it into stocks? Not picking on you...
I haven't noticed it, but I would suspect you're right. I appreciate my early Washington quarters and lincoln cents a lot more after seeing the...

Its always dangerous to make investment choices based upon only a short period. This is a sucker move, just like small investors always want to...
I disagree with you both Ruben and Amanda. In many cases, in ancient coins there is not definitive proof one way or the other, but you can have...
Yes, its a decent link. There are also a couple of groups on Yahoo groups that are good. The short answer to cleaning ancients would be use...
Yes, excellent point about auction catalogs. Some auction catalogs are coin books in their own right. Shore's collection of Parthian sold by CNG...
Yes, but those clean up fairly easily. Most coins sold as uncleaned coins are from random field finds, so the elements have affected them....
I agree Libor is a huge issue, and I would also be upset if no one gets charged with MF Global. THings like that usually just take some time to...
I like Chris' answer. :) When I collected US, for the last few years it was: 1. SL halves 2. CB halves 3. Draped bust halves 4. CB half cents 5....
I agree completely.
Separate names with a comma.
